The Transfer Tavern

Former Chelsea star LIFTS LID on Jose Mourinho’s personality

Chelsea fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking up with wry smiles on their faces after hearing what the Daily Star have to say about their manager.

According to former striker Demba Ba, the Special One is best avoided after a Blues loss – because he is impossible to be around!

That has our landlord moving over to the pool table and making the point that Chelsea are o course still unbeaten this season and we think that the Blues may well have one happy manager come the end of 2014/15!

Demba Ba – now at Turkish giants Besiktas – noted: “Mourinho hates losing, I wouldn’t recommend trying to talk to him after a loss but he is great to be around after a win.”

Chelsea were of course trophyless at the end of last season’s campaign and look like turning that wrong into a right this season.

Leading the Premier League by eight points, that does not seem to have stopped Mourinho from looking to strengthen his side with Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus heavily linked to the Blues.

Chelsea fans. Do you think this season will be one where you go unbeaten? Will Mourinho remain the ‘Happy One’? Let us know your thoughts below.
